Very good Krugman piece on Lott's racist comments, of course it's not news to those of us who sit on our asses reading blogs all day, but hey (:

From here, though, Mr. Lott's retroactive endorsement of a frankly racist campaign seems more important than Mr. Kerry's hair. The question is, who will make something of it? Not the media, apparently — but maybe it's time for the Democrats to make an issue of Mr. Lott's views.

A small pack of people making something of it is beginning to form, and at the head? Al Gore. (once again, Daily Show, two hours from now if you're on the west coast!)
